Beautiful 1940 Ford V8 School Bus on display at the Early Ford V8 Foundation Museum, Auburn, Indiana.
When I first saw this early Ford Bus, I was not familiar with with the differences between the 1940 and 1941 models, but after returning home and researching the subject, I now know that this example is a 1940 Ford V8 School Bus.
This lovely example was donated by Peter McLaughlin of Lyme, New Hampshire, as you can see from the Display Board that describes this vehicle. The only problem is that it is listed as a 1941 model, and not a 1940 model.
As this photo was taken a few years back, I hope that the Museum has corrected the details so that it is correctly listed as a 1940 model.
If any Ford Barners plan on visiting this great Museum, can you please check and see if this error in listing this Ford School Bus as a 1941 model instead of a 1940 model has been corrected?
